Some Wives also kill their husbands when they know what is in his account.

Sunrise258:
This is very real! My brother called me today telling me his wife keeps getting alert on the new mtn sim he just got her. He told me the total money is now 1.9m naira and no one has ever withdrew from the account. What happened was that the original sim card owner died and mtn sold out his line after years of inactivity. His family might be finding it tough to eat right now unknowing they have 1.9m in a bank!

You guys can help the family by trying to contact them through MTN and the Police.

Many are not happy in their marriage so they wonder.
Why will this woman inherit my hard labour and still roll with a strange man

Well thw money will still be inherited by someone. Which is nore foolish?

So no signatory to next of kin? And by the way what happened to preparing a Will in case of anything. Anyway its very to marry the woman u trust and u familiar with so dat in case of anything u can sign off for her and the kids.

banio:

then that is where making a Will comes into play. At least if u no trust ur wife then make plans that ur children should have access to it. But to me its foolish for a man to be marrying a woman he doesnt trust.

devlishGINGER:
There is no need to worry depending on who your next of kin is
In the case of the demise of a customer, the next of kin could lay claims to such monies or properties

Did you read the article very well? It says in most cases the families don't even know about such monies or properties. So it is possible for a relative to be the next of kin without even knowing it and the bank will not inform such person.

lilwetdick:


it has nothing to do with insecured

many women here in Nigeria are not prudent and dont think about the future, their only job is to spend and spend, so why should a man open his money secret for that type of woman

u refering to slayqueens and slaymamas. There have been cases of a number of widows who use the proceeds left by their late husbands to see the kids through school. Some with little or nothing left by the late husband deny themselves of the good things of life just to see the best of the children.

Bafemi:
This is untrue. I say this because I am in the system and I understand how it works. All the family needs is to visit the court probate office. In cases of uncertainty, the court can write the banks to furnish them with any bank details of the deceased in that particular name and more easily these days, BVN.

Mind you, this information is not difficult to come by these days, even details of deceased assets in investment houses other than banks can also be retrieved much more banks.

what of if the man died before the introduction of BVN? My friend father died in 2010, after getting letter of administrator from court yet, up till date DIAMOND Bank is still playing with their intelligence. From some documents the man has bond with the bank worth# 2.5 billion only .

Wondering the same. Do not mind the people quoting rubbish. How is it possible for somebody to open an account without a next of kin? Nonsense post

And you think all the next of kin are aware? I could open an account without telling my next of kin, although it doesn't make sense but people do it just for the sake of filling the forms.

God bless you Dad in your grave. You made me a mum signatory to your account before your died. A big lesson for me.

papermill:
^

Some bankers are behind some customers death. the reasons why some men died without declaring their account worth is because WILL don't exist anymore in Nigeria. Abi na lawyer you wan go tell say u get 60 million and you wan write ur WILL? na same lawyer go arrange for your kidnapping. trust no longer exist in Nigeria forget it.

everything in naija is just messed up agreed but person like aliko dangote u feel im go fear to set up im Will make im lawyer no arrange im kidnap?

I would never understand why people would even marry someone they can't trust with their money. But since it happens everyday, they should at least make provision for their kids. That is my own...

This is what I've never stopped pondering over, if he/she cannot be trusted with anything, why marry each other? I dunno how people cope in such marriages where I have to be cautious with everything. My husband knows my PIN, I know his too, I know his business buddies, I know every contract he's doing or about to do, we decide together what to venture into and what not. I am more or less his manager and we're happy so. I think It's true most of the problems plaguing our society is deeply rooted in family. God help us.

Are u saying for some reasons, its better for bank to eat your money than your children

I been wanting to ask ladies this question ,so now let me ask You the question,let's say your dad is a very wealthy man and you got married to a handsome guy from a poor family back ground, after your wedding your dad gave you two buildings one in ikoyi and one lekki but the buildings are in your name, let's say the marriage last only 7 years with no issue and you guys divorce will give your ex one of the building your dad gave you as a wedding present ?

The truth about this whole thing is, Naija men are very Adulterous and polygamous in nature as they tag themselves. most of them doesnt like to disclose asset to their wives for the sole reason of keeping as many girl friends and baby mamas as possible. women has the habit of monitoring account to see what goes in and out when declared to them, so if a man for, instance spends on his girl friends, the wive will know because the acct will reduce and by the time she asked question as to why the money reduced, problem will set in the family. many naija men for some reasons, doesnt like to assist where they married from, therefore they hid there assets and wealth from the wives so that he can help as many as he wants without the wives knowlegde. Women on the other hands, doesnt like to disclose asset or used their husbands as next of kin because the moment they die before the man, the man will remarry and her children will suffer as most men doesnt care to know the well being of their children once a new wive is involved and by the time the new wife start producing, the rest is history as she will use her woman power to subdue the rights of the first wive children. In conclusion, marriage in Nigeria is a total scam, there is no love nor trust. The men marry to have children while the women marry because of societal norm of u must marry as a womans pride is her husband.

Pavore9:
This issue came up in the course of my conversation with someone 2 weeks ago, he said he has a banker friend who happens to be account officer of a man who passed on February 2018 and in his account a 7 figure balance and no one has come forward since then which means none of his relatives knew about it.

We argued if his banker friend can go tip his family as his kids would surely need the money for their upkeep but no matter how noble, it will be unethical for the banker to let his family know since the deceased didn't want them to know about it.

The bank is not supposed to keep quiet about it. The mobey legally belongs to the deceased's next of kin, therefore the moment he or she passes away, an equitable trust is created which must be executed in line with the marriage and inheritance laws of Nigeria.

I assure you, the law has made ample provision for such situations so any bank claiming to act ethically by not disclosing said accounts may be in breach of trust.

Note: trust here connotes a legal obligation

Banks are only keeping the funds. It will eventually return to the state coffer if not claimed by family members. But trust Nigerian banks to hide the funds from the government.

Whatever my spouse does not know about my finances my eldest child know.

What if the spouse you marry betray that trust along the line. What will you do?

pocohantas:


Lol, tbh, I really so not think this is their reason. Most Nigerian men think they owe their siblings more loyalty than their wife. They also think their siblings are more loyal.

That is why you will hear men say "my family that suffered with me", you will hardly hear a woman say that. My own brother was even a culprit. Give a man and a woman forms to fill; maybe a travel manifest. Lets assume they are both in very serious relationships. The woman would most likely write her fiance's name. The man would write his brother's name. Even if na orphan/only child, e fit put im uncle wey train am for school

When you see the ones that mention their wives first, look at them...for many, there is a way their eyes light up. You will know they didn't mention her to fulfil all protocols, but because they really want her to be secured.

I can't say same for the women o. They mention it unto say "ehn, I am married na. It has to be him".

A man's love could be very pure o.

One sided analysis but still educative

He is very faithful to you and a responsible man too. those chronic cheaters wont try it.

Katier00:
Some men believe that if they let their wives know about their business or money, they will kill them in other to inherit their wealth. Men are very insecured.

because we know what you women are up to when it comes to money issues.
that's why we don't trust you.

The family will claim it next of kin is always in the bank details but some bankers are worst than robbers.

Mrjo:
Some times you can't blame them I know a man whose wife was using his money to do charity work without the man knowing what was going on the day he found out he went and change everything till today, but I don't support hiding everything from your partner

What do you mean by charity work

nototribalist:
My popsi left only N126k and his N120k monthly pension is still going in for the past 5 years now. Union bank don frustrates us to the point we don't bother about the account anymore.


In addition, we got the whole court documentation until we were told by the bank that the pension money paid into the account from when he died will be refunded back to the pension people. At that point we lost appetite for the millions in the account by now.

Correct sir. The bank has to refund the pension payment to the pension fund. Though your dad's dependants will then be entitled to a lump sum payment.

The day my babe know how much dey my account, my loving beautiful sweetheart that was always supportive with cash and kind suddenly never has any money.

She's always now complaining about this dress she saw that she likes and how she doesn't have enough clothes and wants to look good for me. She want to eat restaurant 24/7, or use taxify/bolt. Now I'm regretting why I disclosed this info to her. I don't blame men who hide such info. This girl don chop over two months of my salary in two weeks and is still not satisfied. I want my my gf abeg.

This one is a monster.

Yes oh. I'm going through one now. My brother knows how much is in my account and he has never asked for one kobo. My gf wants to wreck me.

There was a serious case in Warri where a woman donated her husband's car to pastor claiming he can easily buy another one.

If family cannot convince husband to drop money, they'll meet the wife and she'll start dashing the money around anyhow. Baba no let woman know how much dey your account. Only let your eldest son know. That's why it's good to give birth early and mould your children in your own image and likeness.

Someone that was supportive, very supportive. She helped me with money and bought me many of the clothes I wear today so that people won't look down on me.

Money has an evil spirit with women I swear. I used to laugh at people till it happened to me. My brother is my next of kin. It will not change to till I have children.

Cock and Bull story, nothing like that is happening anywhere.

Yes, it is happening. So stop saying what you don't know.
